Class of 2022 (the journey); sharing, venting, discussing

I was you four years ago, @MTMOM17 – never fear, never give up, never surrender!!

I don’t know why only half of my post posted.

I was sighing

Omg it happened again. No clue why.

I was sighing

Sighing is better than crying!

I was sighing

Lol@EastchesterMom!!!

Ok. I give up. I can’t post for some reason. Lol

Last try.

I was sighing Because I’m afraid that my daughter did not apply to enough programs. She applied to 10, all BFA MT audition programs. She passed all of her prescreens except one, and she’s still waiting to hear from Elon.

As much as I want to trust the process, at this point I’m pretty scared.

I wish all of our kids break legs and get in where they are meant to be!!!

Don’t worry, @MTMOM17 - it will happen. At the risk of repeating myself, nobody could have been more naïve, ill-prepared, uninformed and downright stupid as me and my D, and it all worked out anyway.

Thank you @EastcheasterMom…I think you just summed up exactly how I feel … naïve, ill-prepared, uninformed and downright stupid. My daughter and I are doing this alone and muttering along as best we can.

You mentioned that your story is well documented…where can I find it? I’d love to read it!

@MTMOM17 Does your D have any non-audition safeties (schools she would attend and that fit your budget)? She may want to do some very quick research and add a few BA (non-audition) schools to her pile.

No, @artskids, she doesn’t. We will look into some tonight if we’re not too late.
That’s part of the reason I know she didn’t apply to enough schools. There is quite a learning curve!!!

@MTMOM17 is your daughter going to Unifieds? She could add extra schools by doing walk-ins.

Yes, @collegemom2000, she is going to NY Unifieds next week! That’s a good idea!!! Thank you!

Some of your BFA schools may also have BA options. For instance, Pace has a BA option (and a January 15 deadline).

@MTMOM17 I totally get it. You sound a lot like me and my S. He only applied to 8 schools, one of which was a local safety school and I was in a panic. Have you checked out Coastal Carolina University, Texas State and Arizona State? I heard they’re great programs. Best of luck and feel free to reach out to me.

Does anyone know of any schools that are still accepting applications/audition sign ups? Received some bad news and my nephew is freaking. At this point, I am willing to pay for applications and drive/fly him myself.

I am right there with all you you and all of the nerves! We have Belmont Saturday and Carnegie Mellon the 27th followed by auditions EVERY weekend in February and one in March! I’m just praying she gets to choose between programs at some point. It has been quite a journey so far with four prescreen acceptances and one redirect and three rejections. This caused us to add schools. I am having a hard time staying positive.
